In 1995 a former photojournalist for CNN, Linda Schaefer, had a chance meeting with Mother Teresa during a visit to Atlanta, Georgia, Schaefer, who was given an opportunity to do a photo story for the Cable News Network, decided to turn the assignment into an adventure - a journey into the world of Mother Teresa. After numerous setbacks and refusal by Mother Teresa to allow photographs of her work to be taken, Schaefer put her cameras down and entered the world of this living saint - going to work in an orphanage in Calcutta. This led to a growing relationship of the two women that culminated in Linda being given persmission to photograph whatever she felt would show the world the real environment in which this remarkable woman and her nuns and volunteers lived and worked. Linda Schaefer became the last professional photographer to have full access to Mother Teresa prior to the illness that ended her life, and her photographs provide a window through which we can "touch, smell, and taste" the world of this living saint.
